Formerly called
Council of Industrial Design

The Design Council, formerly the Council of Industrial Design, is a United Kingdom charity incorporated by royal charter.[5][6] Its stated mission is "to champion great design that improves lives and makes things better".[7] It was instrumental in the promotion of the concept of inclusive design.[8]

The Design Council's archive is located at the University of Brighton Design Archives.[9]

The Design Council operates two subsidiaries, the Design Council Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (Design Council CABE) and Design Council Enterprises Limited.[2]
